WATER-B OT'ILE Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 13. 1907. s No. 383.691-

T all; whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ROBERT S. BLAIR, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Rochelle, in the county of /Vestchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and. usefullmprovements in Water- Bottles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to receptacles for l liquids and'more specifically to water bags elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth,"and the scope of the ap )lication of which will be indicated in the ol-' lowing claims. l I

In the acconipanymg drawings wherein are shown one or more of various possible embodiments of the several features of this lnvention; Figure 1 1s a sectional v1ew'showing one of the same with a cap in position,

Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cap removed, Fig. 3 1s a plan of parts shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 4 lsa detail view of a cap wlth gasket, the gas:

' ket being partially broken away in order to show the construction more clearly, Fig. 5 we sectional view of a construction in which certain features of this invention are embodied.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

In order that certain features of this in vention may be the more readily and fully,

of the bag and there is a likelihood of the closing of this valve being forgotten. There are, moreover, a larger number of joints to seal with a greater probability of leakage, the

latter being more particularly true if it be attempted to use an automatically closing separate. air escape valve. The above and other defects are obviated and many advantages attained in constructions of the .nature of those hereinafter described.

Referring now to Fig. 1 of the accompanyingdrawings there is shown a receptacle 1,

which maybe an ordinary hot water bag of imperforate construction, and which is provided at itsneck 2 witha threaded part 3 in any desired and well known manner. There is also formed or mounted adjacent the neck 2 a shoulder 4 adapted to co-act with a gasket 5 mounted within an annular lip 6 in a hollow cap 7. The latter member preferably cxtends substantially to the top of the funnel 8 of the bag and is provided with wings 9 to aid in turning the same. Mounted within the neck of the bottle, as by a cross member 10,:is a tube 11 which is preferably removable as for urposes of repair or renewal. This tube 18 flared at the'bottom as shown at 12 andextends substantially to the top of the funnel 8 resting within the cap 7. Tube 11 is preferably formed as by providing a permanent bend or inclination of the same,

if it be of rubber, as to tend to incline it in.

use as shown at 13 away from the handle 14 of the bag. The method of use of this con struction is as follows. Assuming that it be desired to fill the bag, the cap 7 is removed and water poured into the funnel '8 in the well known manner, entering the bag as indicatcd in Fig. 2 oi the drawings. This water does not interfere, however, with the outward passage of the displaced air and more particularly the steam from the water, as the same readily passes through the tube 1"], the flaring mouth of which aids in permitting the steam to enter anddeilects the water therefrom. This steam, as will be seen from the drawings, is conducted entirely without the bag by a passage which is separate 'rom that of the ingoing water even though the same accumulate to a considerable depth in the funnel, in fact, if desired the tube may be extended so as to project slightly above the funnel. The bend to the tube, moreover, tends to deflect the steam from the handle 14 and thus aids further in protection of the hand. Any particles of Water which might to the ba.

. drawings strip 17 ,which 1permits the ready insertion of the tube 'and a ows it to be Withdrawn and coiled about the plug orca) upon the bag being filled, as shown in rotted lines. A cli 18, moreover, is preferably provided in or er to hold the tube in its inoperative position. In this construction the type of cap is unimportant and a solid plug may be usedif desired. If desired, moreover, a permanent curve Ina be imparted to the tube, 16 in order to aid in coiling the same into its inoperative position.

The construction last mentioned. is used as follows. The plug moved the tube is inserted within the neck as shown in full lines and the bag filled, permitting the esoa e of the steam in a manner substantially .i ,entical with that above described. U on the bag being filled, however, the tu e is withdrawn and the plug in sorted in place and the tube coiled about and held within the clip 18.

It is to be noted that certain of,.the broadest features of the invention are embodied in the structure last described, but certain features of the invention are, of course, specific to that construction first set forth.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a construction in which the' several objects of this invention are achieved and in which the above enumerated advantages are present. This construction, moreover, is simple and inexpensive and its action is ellicicnt and re liable. The number of joints to be sealed is not increased and the time required for filling the bag is no longer than 1n the case of one of the ordinary construction.' The one tire device, moreover IS of a durable nature and well adapted to stand the severe treatment of hard ractical use.

' As many 0 anges could be made in the above construction and many a parently' widely different embodiments of t the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. l i
